With unity as our foundation and honor as our compass, we stand ready to face any challenge, secure in our duty to protect and serve.

Information

The Protective Echelon division serves as both an army unit and a promotional unit within the VNH. Even Though they engage in combat alongside the Armed Forces, their primary objective does not involve border protection. The division participates in promotional events such as parades to showcase the capabilities of the VNH. Owing to its immense popularity, the Protective Echelon's events occur more often than those of any other division in the VNH.
